Detailed explanation-1: -Or, allegory is a type of story which carries a second meaning along with its surface meaning.” Spenser’s “The Faerie Queene” is an allegorical romance, symbolizing the moral and spiritual journey of an individual through innumerable temptations of sins towards the ultimate attainment of glory and truth.
Detailed explanation-2: -The moral and the religious allegory are assimilated with the political allegory in The Faerie Queene. According to the political allegory The Red Cross Knight is Saint George of England and Lord Leicester is Prince Arthur. Lady Una stands for Truth which is represented by the national Church of England.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Faerie Queene (1590) is an epic poem by Edmund Spenser (c. 1552–1599), which follows the adventures of a number of medieval knights. The poem, written in a deliberately archaic style, draws on history and myth, particularly the legends of Arthur.
Detailed explanation-4: -Moral and spiritual allegory in The Faerie Queene deals with the action and interaction of virtues and vices. The good characters stand for the various virtues and the bad characters stand for the corresponding vices. The Red Cross Knight stands for Holiness, and Lady Una, Truth and Goodness.
Detailed explanation-5: -Love and Friendship. Throughout Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, there are two types of relationships that occur again and again. One is love (typically between a knight and a lady) and the other is friendship (often between equally matched knights who share common goals, or between knights and squires).
